Ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday dismissed claims by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, that a joint presidential ticket featuring Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso would have a stronger chance of winning the 2027 presidential election than if both politicians contested separately.

According to Kwankwaso, Obi has publicly made the promise and should be trusted to keep his word.

Obidients and NDC express confidence Peter Obi will secure stronger electoral gains across northern Nigeria in the 2027 election, dismissing critics.
